Get it out of your system on this thread

Also finding workload a struggle - trying to prepare loads of handover stuff for staff, but it's all bitty and I cant get my teeth into it. This is as well as trying to continue bits of the project. Also using the avoidance technique.

I'm fed up of living on a messy building site. I had a nag at H over the weekend to help me tidy, and it's a lot better, but I still have no proper kitchen and lots of holes in the walls.

I'm fed up waiting for the NHS to give us a date for H's op. They were expecting "around Christmas" - well that's a month away and we still have no date. We have therefore made very few plans for Christmas, and I can't look forward to it. I start a new job in the NY and really should and have to be there for his surgery/to look after him, but it's not the best start to the job - I just know it wont be before Christmas now.

Oh and it's freezing cold outside and I hate running in this weather (hurts my chest) - this coupled with my crap diet means I'm porking again ☹️

My workload is ridiculous and my boss keeps piling it on even though i tell her that i can't do the work in the time she gives me, and right at this precise moment in time i'm so utterly demotivated at work that i can't even get up out of my chair to skive off early even though my boss flitted off an hour ago. the big boss was in and i had a classic opportunity to speak to him about how awful the working situation is here but i'm too scared/lilylivered and worried about the potential repercussions that i didn't say anything to him.

um. that's it for the moment.

? baron for the thread. hope you sort out the running/find another form of exercise that works just as well for you.

Have spent an absolute fortune on a radio/direct marketing promo which has been nowhere near as good as expected. Feel like whatever we do, however hard we try, however many hours we put in, we can't get where we need to be. Am exhausted, working 7 days a week and I am sick to fecking death of it all.

Ooh, like a faux letter but not? OK.

I'm fat. I can't motivate myself to do anything about it.

My twins downright refuse to walk and it's a pain in the arse doing anything with them. Ditto talking. Also all they do is effing well fight. Am tired being a referee in some weird wrestling match.

Master A is stressing about changing schools in 2010 because our hoo-er of an education minister has cancelled the 11+ without telling anyone what she's doing to replace it.

MrA is getting on my wick.

Apart from that though, am great. ?

This is going to sound really pathetic and inconsequential compared to the others but I'm ill.

Its the first time I've been poorly for ages. I suspect a chest infection but can't get into the doctors until tomorrow. My toddler is also poorly so didn't get to bed until 4.30 last night/this morning.

I'm limited as to what I can take as I'm breastfeeding but i keep coughing myself sick.

See told you it was pathetic - oh and I keep blubbing

Struggling to find a house to buy, but there are not many properties on the market. H being a pain as he doesn't know how to make his mind up about anything.

Been eating random sweets when I should be eating fruit instead (have run out of fruit). Not exercising as much as I should because I've been out viewing properties and the weather is putting me off.

Long term friend still refuses to talk to me.

I too can't seem to lose weight. I have a poorly 2 year old who keeps us up at nights and I want her to be better. Main thing is one of the bosses who does my head in, he tries to be nice but I just want him to tell me what he wants and when he wants it instead of crawling and skirting around the issue. I need a firm hand - oo er!!

Since returning to work from maternity leave, I have felt side lined, I am so under utilised and it is quite frustrating, I have so much knowledge and experience and used to have a good rep, feel like I am not being taken seriously. Don’t want to leave as have been there for years and would hate to leave for something else and for the new company to make me redundant given the current climate.

Cant believe I am moaning about not being busy!

Also my H is working away so much and it gets quite lonely being tied to the house of an evening, as I now have an 18 month old.

I am also getting irrationally worried about finances next year, but with no real reason

This is soooo going to turn into faux letters before too long ?

cub has bronchiolitis. and is whingy and clingy.

MrF is away, left at 4am and not back till around midnight.

i feel crapola, can barely breathe, and will prob not have time for yoga today

we have family descending on friday for cub's birthday and nothing is organised.

our car is almost dead so we to find a new one asap, i hhhate looking at cars it's so boring.

i wish i was going to Goa next week, but i stupidly decided to leave it till jan. why, why would a sane, rational person decide to do that? gah.

My selfish twunt H has decided to take every tues aft off work to collect his kids (my step kids) from school, bring them back to stay here overnight and yet NEVER gives me time on my own away from my kids. If i ask him to do owt on a saturday or sunday, he'd prefer not to "as its his days off". Not sure when my days off are??!!!!! As a result of the early finish on a tues and late start on a wed he works late the other days to compensate, so me and baby are on our own again (should i take this one over to BT?)

I'm worried sick about the economic climate and dreading the thought that my business may become another stastic of it. Expensive wedding stationery is hardly an essential is it?

OH is working away and I'm lonely and I miss him.

My house is absolutely fecking freezing and the fecking landlord says that I can't use the fecking fireplace as the chimney lining is unsafe (?!?). My gas bill is going to be horrific.

I'm fat and I'm trying so hard to go to the gym every day, but I can't see results fast enough which I find demoralising.

My dad's memory is getting worse and he is in complete denial that there is a problem - he needs help and refuses to see his GP.

Trivial compared to other people's problems, I know!

I'm just disappointed with myself. I was made redundant in July - good news as I hated my job and, as I can afford not to work for a little while, it should have given me time to get things done. Well, here I am in the middle of November and hardly anything done. I wanted to get the halls, stairs and landing paintwork all done. Nearly there with that - maybe the end of next week but its been soooooo slow. Wanted to paint the fence inside and out. Done most of the outside (ran out of paint and then out of dry weather). I wanted to get the roof sorted, I finally got around to getting quotes and I've just (while writing this!) had a call from our preferred roofer and booked it in - for February. I was also supposed to sort out getting some hardlandscaping done - all I have is some rough sketches and no calling done. Our holiday of a lifetime to New Zealand turned out to be 10 days in Italy. Oh, and I was intending to find the time to get to the gym and loose weight - if anything I think I've put weight on.

So 3.5 months and I've done about one months work. Very disappointed with myself.

I don't WANT to do any of the jobs people think I am capable of. I am not being unrealistic asking for a job that pays £3k more than the one that i am leaving since the job before that was regional management and paid twice what i'm on now. I hate administration and I'm bored.

My whinges are:

I am fat and too lazy to do anything about it plus can't seem to plan any exercise in to my day particularly well due to the baby.

From Tuesday next week I will probably be unemployed due to redundancy. As we have been prudent and saved up some just in case money it means I don't qualify for job seekers allowance, despite having paid significant tax for years. W@nkers.

I am fed up of dealing with recruitment consultants. Why is it so difficult to just return my phone calls - feckers.

I am fed up with Mr RBH being a lazy twunt. I don't ask much of him but I would like for him to tidy up after himself.

My sister is doing my head it. She has become a selfish self centred numptie and just like my Dad yet she fails to see it and keeps putting going out and getting pissed before the care of her 2 year old.

I am just soooooooo tired all the time just now. Things i used to look forward to seem dull and boring. I have no time and yet too much time. Pah. I sooo need a holiday!

I am home from a lovely weekend away, missed the kids like no mans business. 8 hrs of being back and I am ready to ship them back to Grannies and emigrate on the sly!

I've just tasted the dumplings that have sat in the beef stew all afternoon and realised I picked up the canister of bread flour instead of the SR flour. Luckily they are for the rugrats and I haven't put mine & H's on yet but now I need to make more, and worse still will need to rethink the meal plan for the week as I haven't enough flour for Thursday's cheese & bacon bread and am too broke to do anymore shopping until next week.

I was snoring my head off on the settee by 9.30 last night.

Between my real job, my Diploma course and a sudden massive urgent project to finish by christmas, my head hasn't stopped spinning for a month.

Even my plans for a day off on friday got scuppered today by two colleagues requesting super-urgent-you-must-be-there meetings am and pm (so I can't even have a half day).

It hasn't been the greatest of years anyway, plus no holidays (barring a long weekend back in January), and my father has just been through surgery to remove a tumour, and while that was a success, it may have compounded a different problem.

At least its keeping my mind of the dreadful state of the economy.

I am annoyed with my best friend who seems to be taking me for a ride. I am finding this friendship all one way i.e. I text/ring/email/arrange meet ups since she met her darling fiancee. Even when I do leave messages she cant be bothered to reply.

Sad thing is I dont want to cull because she has been a great friend in the past and lets me honest I only have about 3 friends in the whole world but I am getting very fed up of being walked over.

Right and breathe

I'm seriously in need of a kick up the ar5e work-wise, but I'm so bored with it all and I'm paralysed about job hunting due to flexible nature of current job, current financial climate and a good dose of fear.

I'm perpetually ravenous, even when I eat something sensible and healthy.

I'm broke until Friday. When I am temporarily less broke than before.

Sorry to hear about the redundancy. Have you checked if you are eligible for JSA contributions based? Its not means tested, just depends on how long you've been working.

Oooh where to start?

Started a new job 3 weeks ago and have had to take two days off on two separate occasions due to the bratski being ill and sent home from school, so I'm a bit worried that they are going to think I am a skiver.

Still haven't been paid from old job who owe me £550 and its really going to screw us up over Christmas. The cowbag is closing the nursery and deliberatley not paying anyone, so I will be one of a lot of people taking her to a tribunal. I know I will get the money at some point after taking legal action but I really neeeed it now!

House is a mess no matter how much I tidy it. The dog is constipated and has dragged her backside over the carpet leaving lovely tracks for me to clean up.

In law saga is still ongoing. MIL is in hospital for an operation on frozen shoulder, so FIL has decided to start texting Mr K abuse about how his mother needs him, when FIL was Mr K's age his mum died and finally sent Mr K a text "You sicken me" after Mr K pointed out that he has been to see his mum, he has just no desire to see his dad. They also missed bratskis 5th birthday on purpose saying he wasn't a real grandchild so it wouldn't matter. Thats what got me so wound up as I have had to deal with an upset little boy.

I should be on Jeremy Kyle!?

Sorry, but my rant is a bit sens in a BT-related way.

I don't have my son (miscarried at 16 weeks in April) and I'm still not pregnant (this is cycle 5 of trying). It seems as though every other girl I know is upduffed or has recently had a baby, and they all seem to be having boys to boot. I thought it would get easier, but it's getting harder and harder to deal with other people breezing through the whole ttc/pg thing while I'm struggling to cope. I cried myself to sleep last night because I'd just found out that yet another friend is 5 weeks pregnant and consequently, I look like shite today.

I'm also fed up to the back teeth of my stinking fecking cold that I've had for two weeks, I'm comfort eating because of all of the above and therefore overweight, and I'm not looking forward to Christmas one little bit. There's so much going on at work, including schmoozing clients (which I hate at the best of times), and I've no idea how I'm going to get everything done. On top of all that, this was supposed to be our first Christmas as a family, but it's just going to be the two of us again, and I'm terrified that it's going to be that way for the rest of our lives.

Man, I needed to get all that out.

I lost weight late last year and for 4 whole months I was my idea weight. I've now put on 7lbs or so and am miserable but not doing anything about it. I haven't run for ages and I can't get back into it no matter how hard I try (actually not that hard).

My football team is in disarray.

I am seriously bored / peed off / annoyed with my job (though am grateful for having one) and am looking around elsewhere

Cant decide whether I really really want to do a PhD or not - Dr shoes has a job interview for a utterly fantastic job with great opportunities on friday, however its in a location which makes me doing a PhD near on impossible, I have applied for a good sounding job (and one Id quite like to have a good whack at) within commuting distance of his job interview but havent heard anything yet

I am struggling at the moment with suspected arthritis and its making my job (and eating and driving and typing) hard - which is another notch against doing a PhD (I dont want to quit again part way through a second one due to illness), I have a second doc appointment on friday and am hoping I can persuade the doc to refer me to a rheumatologist (sp)

I had a rant at my bank today as they appear to have charged me interest on my credit card (£12) when they shouldnt, except due to my statement being printed (apparently whilst I was on the phone) they couldnt tell me anything so I will have to ring again tomorrow

Although I have moved to a new lodgings without a pyscho loon for a landlady, the new house has issues:- flupping freezing - its an old house and my room is on the end wall with 2 external walls and is above a room that isnt used; virtually no mobile signal - which makes speaking to Dr shoes tricky (I live away during week) and all but no wifi internet signal - that one I can get around by sitting on the landing at the moment and Im looking into a powerline connection

I feel your pain.

I feel your pain too.

I want a job and with the 3 interviews I have coming up i`m not confident and feel like I fluked my way in to the last job I had☹️

? for you an GnT. Sorry if I reopened the wound.

Mine's mostly BT related too.

I've had 3 months of morning sickness, throwing up 3-4 times a day nad having a ridiculously restricted diet, mostly invovling white bread and popcorn. It's just starting to lift and I've now got my toddler's D&V bug from last week. Eating now makes me sick again due to bug. Not eating makes me sick, due to morning sickness. Ill child has grim nappies that make me sick. Ill child is not eating and wants to breastfeed all the time which makes me sick. Ill child wants to sit on my belly.

I fell asleep when I put her down for her a nap, we both woke too late, which means she's not going to go to sleep until 9.30pm. She'll be up at 5.30.

I have go an audit a client tmw, so a long intensive day, and then again on Thursday and I have a stupid amount of reports to write up and no time to do it in.

And I'm not even thinking about Christmas

I just want to hide and sleep somewhre for a week.

I'm flying to Warsaw tomorrow, to give a conference presentation on a subject about which I know very little (largely because most of the relevant research material is in Polish), in front of an audience of world-class experts who will probably proceed to eat me alive - I just hope the interpreter is tactful enough to tone things down before all the criticism reaches my ears.

The saving grace is that I'm on near the very end, so I'll have a good idea of the house style by then.

Our house won't sell. It's a pain in the bleeding arse not knowing what's going on so I can't plan things for the next year.

I'm going to a funeral tomorrow that I wish wasn't happening. I've got to hold it together in front of colleagues, friends and respected people alike. I know I won't.
